Hi guys...
Simple question for Windows 7 users...
Does Windows 7 still have "MODE.COM", probably in the......
C:\Windows\System32\
......folder?
TIA...

searching the folder gives "mode" an app, and "Microsoft Windows Common Drivers Package" x 2.
Nothing "MODE.COM" tho.
Hope this helps. |

"MODE.COM" exists in both C:\Windows\System32\ and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ in Windows 7 64-bit. "rundll32.exe" also exists in both C:\Windows\System32\ and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ so how "64-bit" the OS is I'm not really sure. There are also files like "RunLegacyCPLElevated.exe" which raises some eyebrows in wonder. Why is there a "kernel32.dll" in C:\Windows\System32\ and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ when this is the 64-bit version?
Having said this, Windows 7 is the best OS released by Microsoft since Windows 98. Windows XP is the best post SP1 OS released by Microsoft but I think Windows 7 has already passed this with the 3 monthly patches released so far. |

Interesting. I installed Windows 98 and Linux on the same machine in 2000 and by the end of the year Windows had crashed irretrievably three times and crashed less badly on a number of other occasions; Linux hadn't crashed at all in the same time on the same machine even though, after three months, I was using Linux more often than Windows because the software was so much better for what I wanted to do. |

Hi ollie...
Thanks matey that is a full conformation, although heiowge
already gave me the answer with his incomplete reply... :)
M$, the miserable bl**ders, removed SNDREC32.EXE from
Vista and completely broke my Python "clr.py" code so I
am gonna have to change the "beep" section in it for the
Command Line 2.x versions to...
print chr(7)
OR for crappy Python 3.x...
print(chr(7))

That is so far over my head that it's in orbit.  |
